Puebla and Tlaxcala: Private tour to unique scenery and ancient cities

Puebla has a long history as the first new-planned city to be established by the Spanish conquerors. Colonial palaces, tin-glazed tiles workshops, amazing churches, and a renowned gastronomy make it into one of my favourite Mexican cities. The Tlaxcala area is off most guidebooks but offers a mix of ruins, like Cacaxtla, and lively indigenous and colonial heritage. For instance, I love sipping from a fermented agave beverage called pulque, and I hope you'll want to try it too, directly from the barril, together with proud producer Joel. Lovers of Mesoamerican architecture will be impressed by the landscaping of Cantona and its terraces, pyramids and dozens of ballcourts. And last but not least: all these attractions have a backdrop of beautiful volcanoes, one of which can even be climbed: the Malinche or Matlacueyetl volcano, a mythical giant with gentle green skirts as slopes, sacred to the surrounding indigenous groups. There is so much to see and do, that I am glad to adapt this tour to your interests.
